EveryDrop 1" Wired Irrigation Flow Meter Sensor for Rachio Controllers (1004-EX)

The 1 Vortex water flowmeter is +/-2% reading accurate over the range of 1 GPM to 20 GPM. This meter will read flow from 0.5 GPM to 30 GPM. With no rotating parts such as paddle meters or turbine meters, reliability is dramatically increased. It will not change calibration over time due to bearing wear. In irrigation systems, the meter does not have to be removed for system blow out as many commonly used irrigation meters must be. It also has a display with flow and total for easy reading and troubleshooting. With the 2 wire pulse output, it can be connected to the wired input of many widely used irrigation timers. When connected to the Plaid Systems WiFi Sprinkler Controller, it can monitor and report incorrect flow rates so that you can correct problems before they become a disaster.

This version of the meter is meant to be connected to an irrigation timer flow input (such as Spruce Irrigation or Rachio)

EveryDrop wired flow meters connect directly to a Rachio controller's sensor terminal to provide highly accurate, real-time water use monitoring and automated leak detection right in your Rachio app! (Not compatible with first-generation Rachio controllers.) Calibrate the flow meter to monitor water use for individual irrigation zones and trigger alerts for abnormal behavior. The device installs in-line on a standard 1-inch water supply line after a back-flow preventer. That means that you have to cut the pipe in order to install it, so we recommend you consider calling a professional to install your flow meter.
